Pros

Really depends on what division/team you are. Some teams are overworked and understaffed, some teams work couple of hours a day and have a lot of slack time. Might be a good place to retire, but not to start your career. Almost non-existent training and expanding skills opportunities, lots of post college employees leaving within 2 years Pros: - 401K 6%match - The majority of people working are nice - Great office buildings. Allows work from home

Cons

- Disconnected management from hands-on employees. Words and actions don’t match - Understaffed teams. Overtime work - Work/life balance depends heavily on what team you’re assigned to - Pay is lower than what you can get at other companies - Ineffective and bad performance employees aren’t laid off easily which causes lots of stains between team members - Constant re-organizations. Higher management randomly moving people to areas they don’t have expertise at or desire to work at - Responsibilities aren’t clearly outlined, which makes it hard to understand a clear path for promotions - Not tech advanced company, constant tech issues which take forever to resolve - High turnover rate since 2020

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
